Celebrated GMM turning 95 years young on the northern California coast this week. She still lives on her own, drives a car, has the best one liners, and kicks all our butts in Chinese Checkers. Thanks to @therealtrinaturk2 for hosting the whole crew once again! #thesearanch #searanchesherick #gmm #familia #westcoastbestcoast #home #mytinyatlas

Boat days in Cala Figuera. Come in the late afternoon to watch the boats float home and stroll the coastal path bathed in golden light. Then have some vermut or in my case a glass of Verdejo 😉 #calafiguera #mallorca #españa #mytinyatlas #kayaandkalina

“The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening.” | 8.5+ years in a blink of an eye. Thank you for all the memories Heather & Petey. Can’t wait to see this next chapter! See you in SoCal Cervantes fam 😎 😘❤️

We love Murray Canyon, particularly after heavy rains when the water is flowing. Birthday adventuring with my familia in California’s low desert. #murraycanyon #palmsprings #aguacaliente #cahuilla #indiancanyon #california #westcoastbestcoast

He was always full of life and happiness. He wasn’t prone to worrying like the rest of us and had one of those glass half full outlooks on life. He taught me how to play backgammon and 90% of every card game I know. The token sound he’d make when he drew a joker in rume is a sound I’ll never forget. He would buy more fruit than you could ever attempt to consume. He loved bread. I inherited my ability to eat or drink anything scalding hot from him (sorry to everyone that has since burned their mouths eating an xlb right after me). I will miss his joy, his random obsessions, and his triple kisses. There is comfort knowing he’s reunited with my grandma who left us a few months ago. I imagine them together somewhere warm, enjoying some persian tea. Miss you always. ❤️

You would be hard-pressed to find a bad meal in Oaxaca. From the seven main types of mole, to tetelas, to rolled tacos, to fresh produce, to the simplicity of memelas topped with lard and salsa, to crispy tlayudas, to atoles, to street side pozole stands, to esquites, to teeming market barbacoa stands, to chocolate in all its forms, and so much more, Oaxaca’s food culture is rich, diverse, and oh so delicious. Already thinking about all the things I want to eat again. #oaxaca #mexico #comida #foodie #foodismylovelanguage #wanderlust #mytinyatlas #kkek

She was the kindest and most selfless person I’ll ever know. On Sunday she was telling me that all her grandchildren are her flowers growing out in the world. She loved flowers. She lamented not being able to show us all “her Iran,” but I told her we’ll all get there one day. She said she won’t be there but she will be at the same time. She then recited some persian poetry as she was always known to do. She will be forever missed, but I’m comforted that she will finally be in peace. ❤️

I’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of amazing sunsets at Lake Tahoe, but this was one of the most memorable. A thunderstorming pouring rain sunset with incredible golden light. #marlabay #tahoeblue #tahoe #stormingsunset #mytinyatlas #wanderlust

This house had all the good vibes out in the countryside near Fronsac, in the Bordeaux region of France. This region definitely took the cake on beauty on our French wine country road trip. #fronsac #bordeaux #frenchwineroadtrip #france #croissantlife

Friends in meadows. One of my favorite moments on this French wine country adventure was strolling through the gardens after an al fresco lunch to find this tree-lined meadow full of flowers. #bourgogne #burgundy #frenchwineroadtrip #friends #gooutside #wanderlust #mytinyatlas #france
